Subject: [PATCH 1/3] xen-blkback: Advertise feature-persistent as user
requested

The advertisement of the persistent grants feature (writing
'feature-persistent' to xenbus) should mean not the decision for using
the feature but only the availability of the feature. However, commit
aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent
grants") made a field of blkback, which was a place for saving only the
negotiation result, to be used for yet another purpose: caching of the
'feature_persistent' parameter value. As a result, the advertisement,
which should follow only the parameter value, becomes inconsistent.

This commit fixes the misuse of the semantic by making blkback saves the
parameter value in a separate place and advertises the support based on
only the saved value.

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] xen-blkfront: Cache feature_persistent value before
advertisement
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Xen blkfront advertises its support of the persistent grants feature
when it first setting up and when resuming in 'talk_to_blkback()'.
Then, blkback reads the advertised value when it connects with blkfront
and decides if it will use the persistent grants feature or not, and
advertises its decision to blkfront. Blkfront reads the blkback's
decision and it also makes the decision for the use of the feature.

Commit 402c43ea6b34 ("xen-blkfront: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter
when connect"), however, made the blkfront's read of the parameter for
disabling the advertisement, namely 'feature_persistent', to be done
when it negotiate, not when advertise. Therefore blkfront advertises
without reading the parameter. As the field for caching the parameter
value is zero-initialized, it always advertises as the feature is
disabled, so that the persistent grants feature becomes always disabled.

This commit fixes the issue by making the blkfront does parmeter caching
just before the advertisement.
